Chance
by Joseph Conrad
Chance is narrated by Conrad's regular narrator, Charles Marlowe, but is characterized by a complex, intertwined narrative in which different narrators tackle the story at different moments and try to interpret different chapters from the life of Mrs. de Barral, the daughter of a convicted convicted con artist named Smith de Barral (although this character is known as a criminal in the novel world, he may only be an incompetent banker, at least initially). Mrs. de Barral leads a protected life while her father is prosperous, then she must rely on the generosity of others who are angry with her or call out for her before fleeing by marrying a Captain Anthony. Much of the book deals with the thoughts of the various narrators about what he and the Captain expected from this union and what they actually gained from it. When his father is released from prison, he joins them on a ship and goes to the book decision (source: Wikipedia)
